I beg you, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer. -- Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet

When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of stress and anxiety; if I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret here for anyone who can grasp it. -- Rumi

...let there be spaces in your togetherness... ...sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of the lute are alone, though they quiver with the same music. ...the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow. -- "Marriage", The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. ... [joy and sorrow] are inseparable. Together they come, and when when sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. -- "Joy and Sorrow", The Prophet, Kahlil Gibran For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction. Therefore, let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing; And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix, rise above its own ashes. --...

When love beckons to you, follow him though his ways are hard and steep.         For even as love crowns you, so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth, so is he for your pruning. But if in your fear, you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing floor, Into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears.       And think not you can direct the course of love, for love, if it finds you worthy, directs your course.

But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires:    To melt and be like a running book that sings its melody into the night.    To know the pain of too much tenderness.    To be wounded by your own understanding of love    And to bleed willingly a...
